Whitburn Unveils Economic Development Plan

Stephen Whitburn, along with School Board member presumptive Barrera and Congressman Bob Filner, will present plans for taking advantage of District 3's geographic terrain, proximity to downtown, and existing transportation infrastructure.

The idea is to make a place where green companies, start ups, and people like me, working in IT, Telco, and wanting to work close to home, can have a live/work environment that allows me to take advantage of Balboa Park, the beach, and all the rest of what makes San Diego a great place to live and work.

By rejuvenating the traditional corridors that trolleys once served, and finally investing Federal, State, and City resources into a transit system we can be proud of, Stephen Whitburn proposes something bold and noteworthy.

I now believe you're a good soul and care about our community, rather than serving as Whitburn's mouthpiece. Truly, I mean that.

But there's a huge difference between good guys like you and Todd Gloria compared to Stephen Whitburn.

See, both you and Gloria have good hearts and a long history of service in our neighborhoods.

Stephen Whitburn is not the same. The CityBeat says Whitburn, "came to San Diego six years ago in search of a career in politics." Coupled with the fact that Whitburn has dumped over $240,000 of his own, unaccounted for campaign cash into his coffers, would lead anyone to the logical conclusion that Whitburn is a carpetbagging political opportunist trying to buy the 3rd Council District seat.

I hope that when the dust has settled and Todd Gloria is doing a great job on City Council, that you and he will be able to partner together to improve all of our quality of life.
